    Too Much Bacon will kill you

    Yes, too much Bacon will kill you
    And you won't understand why


    Apologies to Freddie Mercury.

    Yes it was carefully associated in the Mail headline, my thought he was probably a nasty scrote anyway & someone shanked him for it.

    Aargh! No, please not Sas. He's funny when he's annoyed, in a small yappy dog kind of way.

    How does that headline imply, or suggest it wanted people to think, it was a revenge killing by Muslim convicts?

    Ah Xoggoth. You are perfect clickbait fodder. Not even aware it is clickbait!

    The BBC headline just has the innocuous "Bacon on mosque offender dies in prison". The Mail has the inflammatory "Man jailed for leaving a bacon sandwich outside a mosque is found dead in prison halfway through his 12-month sentence". You see the difference?

    Me either...

    There isn't anything at all in the article to suggest such a thing, so I'm not sure why you say the Mail wants people to think that.

    In fact, for the Mail, it's remarkably restrained and purely factual in its approach. Wonders will never cease. (Or they'll rewrite it to be more inflammatory later.)

    I always wonder what these imbeciles think they're achieving, other than making themselves look like dicks. Muslims aren't forbidden from handling bacon, they're just not supposed to eat it. So putting it on a doorhandle is just a waste of bacon

    And I wonder if his family think it was a battlefield worth dying on.
